The most badass superhero created by DC comics to date. This guy dresses up as a bat, which he had a phobia of. That's just how hardcore he is! And the only thing bigger than Batman's absurdly large brain are his silver plated balls. His archenemy is a clown.

Unlike most superheroes, Batman doesn't have a super powers! Not that he needs any when most of the criminals he faces refuse to wield firearms. Batman lives in the god forsaken city of Gotham where freaks crawl out of the sewers every other day to destroy a building or 2. And eventhough Batman always saves the day, those stupid ass policemen just let the villians go after about a week to start the whole process over again just for kicks!

He also has a pimp ass butler and a gang of little bitches to help him out if, for what ever reason, his massive balls cant get the job done.

(1) n. Created in the late 1930s, by Bob Kane, Batman's maingoal was to be a "superhero who would sell as well as Superman."

Like Superman, he was given a tragic past and a reason to fight. But, unlike Superman, he has no powers of his own, and relies on theatrics and fear to get his message across. He dresses like a Bat to invoke fear in his enemies.

He has a network of associates known as the "Bat Family," which includes: Nightwing (Dick Grayson, the first Robin), Robin (Tim Drake), Oracle (Barbra Gordon, the first Batgirl), Batgirl (Cassandra Cain). Previously, he has taken Jason Todd and Stephine Brown under his wing, both as Robins (the second and fourth ones, respectively), and both were murdered.

Since his inception, Batman has appeared in comic books, cartoons, movies, plays, and various other media. He currently stars, and is featured, in various DC comic books.

(2) v. To suddenly appear or disappear without bringing attention to oneself, as Batman is known for doing.

He was eventually adapted to television through movies and his own animated series by Warner Bros. A parody starring Adam West as Batman has diluded some people about the real theme of the series.
